Factually, Intel chips still rule the market with 80% share. But going by market share gains over the last year, AMD is gaining the competitive edge bit-by-bit.
The biggest slingshot that helped AMD gain marketshare over Intel is its flagship 64 bit Opteron chip, a dual core technology (that enables a chip to have two microprocessors), which achieved record sales this quarter. “Building on our positive momentum, we believe we once again gained market share based on strong customer demand for AMD64 single and multicore processors,” raved Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s Chief Financial Officer. Opteron processors are not only powerful, but also fabricated to consume less power-cutting on the ever rising energy costs (a big issue with the corporate houses). The escalating popularity of AMD’s Opteron processor in the corporate server market (designed to process large chunks of data faster than its predecessor, a 32-bit processor) is putting Intel’s position in troubled waters. Unlike Intel, with AMD’s chips, the companies do away with the long and costly affair of upgrading their systems….
